The plugs on Apple portable power supplies are interchangeable. All you need is a new plug as the power adaptor itself is universal. Or you can use a standard figure of 8 cable you have lying around the house already as the only way to get the plug is to buy the travel pack from Apple which is pretty expensive for a few plugs!

Oh right ok, I think i'll buy the macbook power supply then, I don't think it's available on the store yet. The World Travel Kit is really expenisve for 6 plugs, 5 of which i'm not going to use. I just bought belkin's universal power adapter, so hopefully that will work until I get the proper power supply from apple.

So they power supply that comes with the macbook (US) will plug straight into a socket in the UK? Im confused now...
Or do you mean i can keep that power supply and use some sort of adapter?

If you buy the Apple World Travel Adaptor Kit ($39 US), then yes, the MacBook Power Adaptor will work world-wide. You just pull the plug off of the power adaptor (it pops right off), and snap the appropriate plug in its place.
